Abstract

Sport-related concussion is a common sporting injury induced by biomechanical forces. It results in transient impairment of neurological function that typically resolves spontaneously but can be prolonged in some individuals. Differentiating concussion from structural head injuries and other serious pathologies is essential. Evidence-based strategies can guide decision-making when assessing and managing an athlete with possible sport-related concussion.
